...you have a fairly authoritative, slightly scary "nanny voice" and it can stop everyone around you in their tracks
...you grab into your bag for a pen and pull out a crayon, a half eaten bag of goldfish and some tissues
...you heart soars when a child accomplishes something practiced often but never conquered until now
....you forget the name of the last movie you saw but you can recite every word of the "Cat in the Hat" and can sing all 15 verses with motions to the "Wheels on the Bus"
...you are willing to give up your weekends to go to ballet recitals, baseball games and art shows
...you have never gotten the tax deduction for "your" kids
...you are kid magnet where ever you go
...you love your job especially because of the perks like hugs, days at the pool, naptime and home made valentines
...you have several outfits and perhaps even a car that smells slightly of baby formula, play dough and juice
...you have days when you are a pirate, a ballerina, a dog and an explorer
...you are proud of what you do- even if that means all you did today was get a two year old to take a bite of broccoli
...you have mistakenly asked your friend if she had to use the "potty"
...you are faster than a crawling infant and can leap tall towers of toys in a single bound
...you want to inspire the future of the world one child at a time
You know you're a nanny when the ripples of your daily work extend out for generations.
How do you finish the sentence- You know I am a nanny because......
